Piledriver Lyrics

Lyric discussion by quamp 

Cover art for Piledriver lyrics by Lush

A rather unusual song for Lush as it was written strictly by Chris Acland, not Miki or Emma. The lyrics aren't complete; I don't think they ever will be. Anyway, it's about how the singer is trying to assess her relationship, and she feels she needs a break from things.

Another interpretation is that it's someone who went out on a date, got drunk, high or stoned and found herself pregnant.

It could also be interpreted as the singer is pregnant and she's wanting relief from the problems that she's having being pregnant (thus it's "swelling up inside me.")
